Quote:Allowing service members to carry weapons around post is completely impractical and dangerous. Most people are under the impression that anyone wearing a uniform is a grizzled combat veteran and weapons expert. In truth only those with specialties in combat arms (a small percentage) would be qualified to do so, and even they would not want that responsibility. This is why we have military police in every service branch.

How is allowing service members carry guns around dangerous? You don't need to be a grizzled combat veteran to carry arms. Maybe I'm missing something in your post.

 

Wouldn't want that responsibility?  Tell that to the people who were shot and had no way of defending themselves.  I bet you they wish they were carrying.
